A bit of a false dichotomy. But in my own experience, the search is not very semantic. Director of Engineering that builds bridges is pretty different from a Director of Engineering that builds APIs. My experience with LinkedIn job search often conflates such things.

Not sure what you mean with the false dichotomy... The search is so extremely bad (and I don't remember it being this bad a month ago), that I considered they might have released a bug. It looks like it completely ignores my search query. Of course other explanations are also possible.
